Pryal. our jovial California cor- respondent, we visited the great Fair, and spent considerable time in the Agricultural Building, wherein are located the apiarian exhibits. After walking for a long dis- tance on the first floor of the mammoth building whose area is a little over nine acres, we ascended to the second floor, at the eastern end of which is located the ex- hibits that will most interest bee-keepers. Upon reaching the row of perhaps a dozen large glass cases built especially for the honey and wax exhibits, we found Mr. Allen Pringle and Mr. E.

Mr. Pringle was at work arrang- ing a series of long tables, one above the other, within Canada's glass case, each table or stand being narrower as the tier neared the top of the case. The cases are made of sliding glass doors, built upon a box elevation of perhaps three feet. All is made tight, so that no dust can get in where the honey and wax are placed. The glass doors can also be loc
